Im Looking Through You

Im Looking Through You by The Beatles reflects the tensions in Paul McCartneys relationship with Jane Asher. The lyrics articulate feelings of disillusionment and change, suggesting that the loved one is no longer the same as before. The track was recorded during the Rubber Soul album sessions in 1965, marking a period of experimentation and evolution in the bands sound.
